Time Shares

2008-01-31T01:33:00Z

What is your opinion on time shares? We recently visited Gatlinburg, Tennessee and we were "bribed" to attend a presentation on the Westgate resort that is there. I didn't get it..thought it was too much money, didn't like the "resort' feel of it, just didn't get what the big deal was. I know time shares aren't that big here in Canada but are huge in the United States. And people seemed to be buying into the idea in droves.

What can you guys tell me about time shares and about Westgate?

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

2007-11-30T01:34:00Z

We are heading there in January. We have rented a log cabin in the Smokey Mountains and are looking forward to some R&R. And tons of romance of course as this is our honeymoon.

Anyone from this neck of the woods? We would love to have lunch with some realtors and exchange thoughts and ideas (after we finish our romancing of course)

Any takers?

Approved Vendors

2007-10-03T12:59:00Z

Along the same lines..the "approved vendors" are also another great feature. But are Canadian members entitled to these discounts? These companies often don't exist in Canada.

There is a draw for everyone taking a coaching session for a discount from one of these companies. Does that apply to the Canadian members??

I think Point 2 needs to keep in mind that all it's members are not from the United States. And all promotions and such should include ALL members.

Point 2 adds listings to top search sites

2007-10-03T12:50:00Z

I was so excited to see the September Member's email saying that you only had to add your listing once and Point 2 would then add the listing to that long list of top search sites!

I went on a couple and couldn't find any Canadian listings. Tried a few more...still couldn't find them. As it turns out, they only appear on Point 2 homes and "VAST". That's only two out of 18. Perhaps I am doing something wrong and wasn't able to find them - but if it's that hard for me, I assume the average Joe couldn't find them either.

I know there are many many Point 2 members who are Canadian so I think it would be beneficial to have this fabulous feature be advantageous to us as well.

Does anyone else from Canada agree??? Can someone from Point 2 address this?

Thanks!

Public comments on Point 2 homes

I thought it was important to point out to everyone that the public comment section on Point 2 homes is not actually disabled yet. Point 2 do plan to do so but it's not going to happen until mid week next week. I think that should have been specified here and on the message board.

Just be aware that people can still post comments on your listings without your approval.

Public comments on your listings on Point 2 homes

2007-09-15T17:52:00Z

I was just made aware of a feature on Point 2 homes that I had no idea existed. Unfortunately, this feature was pointed out by a now former client of ours.

On Point 2 homes, there is a feature where the public can post comments on listings on this site. This was obviously not well thought out by Point 2 as it can be extremely damaging to someone who is trying to sell their home!

Our client (now former client thanks to this feature) googled their address and the number one hit in the search engines was a negative comment someone had posted about their home. They chose that hit and there it was with their agents photos (mine and Steve's) displayed right beside the negative comment. You can imagine our embarrassment in trying to explain this situation to our client. They were enraged and with good reason!!!! That is not the kind of public exposure they are looking for!! What in the world were the people at Point 2 thinking when they added this feature??

I have demanded it be removed from the website - at least from my listings. It's one thing to receive negative feedback on a house, you give this to your vendor and have them do what they want with it. But to have it on the internet for all to see..what's to stop the neighbour next door who has their house for sale from going online and bashing someone's house to deter anyone from looking at it????

For the first time ever I am horribly embarrassed by Point 2. Is anyone else aware of this feature and do you see the damage it can potentially do to your business???

E-pro course

I am getting ready to finish up the E-pro course and I'm just wondering if anyone else has completed it and if you could share your opinion on it?

Thanks!

Seller Services Menu

I know this was mentioned in an earlier post and some people didn't agree with providing a selection of commissions to customers for different levels of service.

I'm wondering if anyone else does this and if so, have they been successful with it? We are just getting ready to launch our new marketing material so any feedback would be appreciated. It's something new for our area, we don't think anyone else does this so we are curious to know how people have gotten along with it.

Thanks,

Carol

Landmark investment company

Anyone ever hear of them or do any deals with them? I am getting emails from someone with their company and I am trying to determine if they are legit or not. I have that "feeling" about the emails but am having a hard time nailing them down to being real or not.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Has anyone had any experience with this company's marketing materials?

We are considering giving them a try but would like to hear some opinions on them first.

Thanks in advance,

can't get on to the message board

2007-03-22T16:56:00Z

This is what happens:

I go on to online office. Click on message boards.

Click on active topics, pick a topic.

Get a message saying it's for members only.

Click on "I am already a member".

Goes back to online office..or back to for members only. Continuous loop.

My last post didn't post either. Am I being banned by Point 2??????

I would put this on the message board..but I can't get on there!!!!!! What's going on?

Anyone use Mozilla Firefox???
